THESE ART PIECES take time and each are unique in their own way. I have made my best effort to show proper coloring of the silk and artwork in my photo
THE ARTISTIC PROCESS
- Each design silk scarf is individually hand made
- Beginning with natural white silk the artistic design is drawn by hand with a gutta resist.
- Using French silk dyes, the color is applied with paint brushes creating unique blended color combinations
- When dry, the silk scarf is steam set to permanently fix the color.
- Once steaming is complete each scarf is individually hand washed and pressed
- The Finished painted silk scarf is preshrunk and completely colorfast and washable
- Each scarf is hand cut with hand rolled which may result in slight variations in the finished size
